PediaCare
Children's Products [Blacksmith Brand]: Recall of four products
May
29, 2010
Blacksmith
Brands and FDA
notified healthcare professionals and patients
about a nationwide recall of all lots of four PediaCare children's
products. These products are sold exclusively in the United
States and were manufactured by McNeil Consumer Healthcare
at McNeil's Fort Washington, PA plant.
The
four PediaCare items involved in the recall are:
PediaCare
Multi-Symptom Cold 4oz. UPC # 3 0045-0556-05 9
PediaCare Long Acting Cough
4oz. UPC# 3 0045-0465-04 7
PediaCare Decongestant
4oz. UPC# 3 0045-0554-04 8
PediaCare Allergy
and Cold 4oz. UPC# 3 0045-0552-04 4
Blacksmith Brands initiated the recall as a precautionary
step because the products were manufactured at a McNeil plant
in which a recent FDA
inspection found serious problems in meeting FDA's current
good manufacturing practice requirements. The company advises
consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue
use.

The Office of Emergency
Management has the responsibility of coordinating all the components
of the City’s emergency response capabilities. Those components
include, but are not limited to: the civil defense efforts, fire
and police, public health and emergency medical services, public
works, volunteer and any other groups or agencies contributing to
the management of emergency situations. Homeland Security has also
been placed within the emergency management program.
The objectives of emergency
management include improving the City’s capability to plan
for and respond to any emergency situation. This is mandated by
both state and federal law. The objectives are met by focusing on
hazard mitigation, preparedness planning, response, and recover
as well as monitoring the city’s level of emergency preparedness.
